Flowers with power

The beauty of the rape flower can be enjoyed in southern China, but a rape flower field planted to resemble the traditional Chinese character long, meaning dragon, can only be seen in Anshun, Guizhou province.

March and April are the best months to visit Guizhou to enjoy the blossoming flowers along the road to the area.

Anshun is already well known as the home of Huangguoshu, the biggest waterfall in China, but fewer people know about the Dragon Palace, a natural karst cave with fantastic scenery. The Dragon Palace is hosting a Rape Flower Tourism Festival, which opened on March 22, to attract photographers as well as residents to visit. This year's event runs for one month.
